OFW in Saudi Arabia Shares the Difficult Situation of Another Domestic Helper in the Hands of Her Employers

Filipinos working abroad are living a difficult and tough life abroad. While some people think that they are having a grand life while working overseas, these Overseas Filipino Workers are working hard just to earn a huge amount of cash and to provide for the financial needs of their families back in the Philippines.

Most OFWs do not have a choice but to work abroad due to the lack of job opportunities and small salary rate that most companies are offering in the Philippines.

Unfortunately, some of our fellow countrymen are suffering from the abuse and maltreatment of their foreign employers making their life abroad more difficult.
